I love yogurt and I have tried so many different kinds. I finally got into making my own yogurt and I can't go back to store bought yogurt. It's really easy to make. I love topping it with fresh fruit and my homemade granola. Give it a try and see if you love it as much as I do!
If you are making starter, follow this recipe. If you received yogurt from a friend, then go directly to the next step.
1 tbsp inulin, 1 capsule MyReuteri
For the yogurt:
Whisk or use a hand blender to blend together the yogurt ingredients (half and half and starter) in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and creamy. See note below regarding starter options.
1 quart organic half and half
Pour the mixed ingredients into the yogurt containers of your yogurt machine. Since my yogurt machine has two glass containers I split my yogurt ingredients between the two glass containers and put the lid on each container.
Fill your yogurt machine with water until the water level reaches just below the lid of your yogurt container(s). Set your machine to 99℉ and cook for 36 hours.
Once your yogurt is finished, you can store the containers directly in your refrigerator. Top your yogurt with fresh fruit, granola, honey or whatever toppings you desire. See note below for serving options and yogurt benefits. Enjoy!
Notes
The nutritional values are estimates. Reference your ingredients for exact nutritional data.For the yogurt starter, I have friend that gave me starter yogurt from her batch of homemade yogurt. Therefore, I just bought the organic half and half and added in her yogurt (about 1/2 a cup) that was crafted with the inulin and probiotic blend. This is something to consider if you have several friends that want to start making homemade yogurt. Otherwise, following the link above to make your starter is pretty easy and straight forward.Dr. Berg recommends 1/2 cup of yogurt in the evening. You can watch his video for more details.
